Celebrating Mikayla

SHE DID IT! Mikayla graduated from Rich High School, Friday May 23rd! She graduated with her associates degree from Utah State in April. She was awarded, from the state, The New Century Scholarship that pays for all books and tuition for two years! She also earned a full ride athletic scholarship to play golf at SUU. She will use this scholarship to pay for all other expenses at SUU such as room and board, parking passes, ETC. Mikayla also got a deans academic scholarship for $1200 that if she keeps her grades up she can renew each semester. Then she added some more candles to her cake with the Centra Com scholarship for $500. Needless to say Mikayla has worked very hard, put in the time and effort and has a lot to show for it! I am so so so very proud of her! I anticipate how the next chapter of her life will unfold.


Mikayla is such a neat person. Mostly I love how genuine and sweet Mikayla is to me and my family and all those around her. She makes me feel so special and loved!

Mikayla and Brookell sang For Good,from the musical Wicked, at graduation. They sang so beautifully. It was a very touching song. Unfortunately I didn't get very good pictures at graduation. Mikayla looked beautiful in her cap and gown even through all the tears! Way to go Mikayla!

We threw a little golfing party/Bar-B-Que for Mikayla last week to celebrate her success and graduation. We wish her the best that life has to offer her in the future!



Don't be sad because it is over, be glad that you were a part!
